Chapter 35 chapter Ten

The next morning, after dawn, there were constant voices from the corridor outside. I finally recovered a little bit of energy, thinking that washing my face might change my mood, so I picked up the towel and walked down the stairs to the bathroom.The washroom is next to the bathing area, so I checked the locker room again in the morning sunlight, but unfortunately, I still didn't find anything unusual. After I washed my face, I went back to the room, opened the paper door facing the lake, and took a deep breath of the morning air. What a refreshing view. As far as I could see, the lake was covered with ripples like crepes, and the sunlight climbing to the top of the mountain Spread it down, reflecting a little light.The lake reflects the majestic shadow of the mountain wall on the back of the sun, the black of the shadow and the silver of the lake surface, plus a touch of morning glow flowing through the junction of the mountain and lake.I have lived here for a long time, but I always stay in bed, and it is really rare to see such a beautiful scenery.And compared with the beauty in front of me, my fright last night looked so shabby and ridiculous.

"You got up so early." A female voice with a flat tone came from behind, and she brought my breakfast.Even though I had no appetite, I reluctantly sat down, and the moment I picked up the chopsticks, I once again wanted to confirm what happened last night.The fresh air in the morning made me feel a lot easier. "I don't know if you noticed it, but last night I seemed to hear a strange cry from the bathing place. Did something happen?" I asked lightly, and then asked from other angles, but the maid didn't know anything.She said no guests were injured and she had no reports of similar incidents in nearby villagers.If someone was seriously injured like that, it is impossible that they have not been discovered until now. Since the well-informed maid has not heard any rumors, then what happened last night may really be just a nightmare.I couldn't help but worry more about whether there was something wrong with my mental state.

After a while, I still couldn't fall asleep, so I sat in the room in a daze in a daze.At this time, a visitor suddenly came, that is, the young man I mentioned earlier, he also lives in this hotel, his surname is Kono, he can be regarded as the protagonist of this story, so I have to spend some time to introduce this person. I only met him two or three times at the bathhouse and the lakeside. He seemed to be an introverted and melancholy person like me, always staring blankly at the same place.By chance, we chatted and discovered that the two of them have many similarities in personality. They prefer to meditate or read alone rather than chatting with the crowd. I have a good impression of him.But he is not a so-called nihilist like me, he has an expectation of human relationship, and his expectation is not unrealistic utopia, but more real (and therefore socially dangerous) , Easier to practice.There is no doubt that he is a weirdo.

In addition, he is very different from me in other aspects such as occupation.He was an oil painter, and his clothes told me that his life was not rich. We chatted a few times, and I knew his life status of wandering around while selling paintings.When he checked into this hotel, the innkeeper assigned him to the most inconvenient room in the corner of the corridor.I don't know what attracted him. He has visited Mount H several times in the past and is quite familiar with this area.On this trip, after he lived in Y Town at the foot of the mountain for a while, he came to Lakeside Pavilion a few days earlier than me.For a long time, while traveling, he investigated the customs and customs of various places, so he heard many anecdotes and anecdotes.When traveling, he would read the books he carried with him, and there were always four or five books with difficult contents around him, and the covers were turned dirty.

Ah, the introduction to Kono was too blunt.Let us go on with his visit to me that morning. As soon as he stepped into my room, he looked up and down, and asked me in surprise: "What's wrong with you, you look very bad." "I didn't sleep all night." I replied, trying to stay calm. "Insomnia, it's really bad." Then we chatted about some topics and chatted casually as usual.But it didn't take long for me to get over this rambling conversation.Moreover, the events of last night kept reappearing and disappearing in my head like a lantern, and I couldn’t listen to Kono’s knowledgeable chat. Just when I was very irritable and hesitant, a thought suddenly appeared in my mind: “It’s better to put Tell him about that, and listen to what he has to say!" On a certain level, he must be able to understand my approach, and in this way, it will be much easier to communicate.Next, I told him everything that happened last night.When I told the secret of the peeping mirror, I was extremely ashamed, but the other party was obviously a good listener. I don’t know when it started, but I completely forgot about my cowardice.
